Simple Stenciled Note Card

This note card is quick and easy. I like its simplicity- just an exclamation mark, nothing more.

I used 8 x 5 unlined index cards folded in half.

I used a stencil of an exclamation mark. It was a small metal one that I found at the thrift shop. The metal helped the finished exclamation mark to have very clean edges. I also used a blue gel pen .07 mm and I think that gave the exclamation mark just the emphasis it deserves. Just make sure it dries well before you go near it to avoid smudges.

I had to play around a bit to find the center of the card. This is trial and error. My trial was marking the center of the stencil with a pencil very lightly and moving the stencil to see if it centered before spending much time filling in the stencil neatly and carefully.

This is quick and easy but I found that it did take patience and care. Not as simple and flexible as some other note cards I have made.
